I’m told that Grandad (Bob) didn't talk much about the war, many survivors didn't or couldn't, however he wrote the poems included in this compilation when he was in his 70s, evidence that his experiences during WW1 made an everlasting impression on him. Also included in this compilation are a couple of poems written by myself (Kate Moss), which I was inspired to write after a visit to North-Eastern France and Belgium in September 2001. Myself and my parents visited the region to try and retrace Grandad’s journey through WW1, such an emotional and evocative experience. I recommend it to anyone, regardless of whether you have a family connection to WW1 or not.
